Ali's Thank You Card.

Thank you Ali for your lovely card ........ I always send out thank you cards to all my customers. I think its important to thank people. Even as a child I wrote my thank you letters.

So imagine how touched I was to receive this lovely 8 x 8 work of art. Its absolutely stunning.

Ali has used the gorgeous Swallowtail butterfly, maksed over it and then used En- Francais and the Happy Watercolour sets to create this stunning card. It has pride of place in my craft room.

The gorgeous butterfly has been coloured with our lovely new Blendabilities pens. Isn't it gorgeous and with some much depth and tone. Love it.

Thank you Ali.

Morning everyone. How are you? Sorry I didn't post yesterday, but I was out and about with the kids and the dogs, and then I was with the lovely Nicky last night playing with the wonderful new products from the new annual catalogue.

Anyway I was up early again this morning, and have walked the dogs. This is part of our walk along the river. It was taken on Saturday morning and the colours in the hedgerows and along the river bank are so pretty. They remind me of the lovely colours shown above. There are hues of orange and reds and pinks in the foliage along the banks. I find the walks very relaxing. They give me time to reflect as well as plan my next creative project.

With these colours in mind, here's a sneaky peak of something I am working on at the moment.

Its made using a single stamp set, and a matching punch, alongside a set of framelits.

You will be able to see the finished item tomorrow. Any ideas as to what set I am using?

Anyway its Wednesday again, which means that its time for a new set of weekly deals. There are some great bargains to be had this time ............

Check out the gold and silver foil. Amazing value. Perfect for Christmas.

Want to create texture in your backgrounds then what about these two sets of embossing folders. Super cute.

And tape it .......... I love this set. Its super super cute.

Here's a simple project using this fab stamp set.

How about the cute heart framelits. Get ready for Valentines and weddings etc with this great set at a great price. You could create a nesting hearts card using lots of layers of DSP. Would love to see what you come up with.

Hi guys, I have something extra special to show you today made using Stampin Up products

In this post:

Memories of those special days

Short and Sweet

Big Shot, Big Deals

Many years ago I lived in Cornwall, for a while and at that time my kids needed a Nanny, to sit with them during the summer holidays.

I was lucky enough to find a lovely young lady called Sammy, who my kids adored, she's a star.

Anyway many years later the lovely Sammy has got married and had a little one of her own.

Here's what I made her to celebrate her wedding

The outside box. Crumb cake stamped in early espresso using the gorgeous Hardwood background stamp. I made the lovely tag from crumb cake, sponged the edges. The cute flowers are made using the itty bitty punches.

Gift Box in Crumbcake, stamped in hardwood from Stampin Up

Stampin Up Crumb cake card and Designer Series Paper

Inside was a matchbox. A very long matchbox, but how cute. This is covered in some retired DSP from last Christmas. (This book has used up left overs from two now retired stacks. - never chuck these things away, they always come in handy)

Matchbox drawer using Stampin Up products

The sentiment on the tags and the box and the book are from a retired wedding set. I borrowed these from my friend Sandra, as hey said just the perfect thing.

The drawer pulls out with the aid of the lovely antique button. The box is nearly 7" long and just over 4" wide, and an inch deep.

Mini album using Crumb Cake from Stampin Up

Here's the front and side of the mini album that goes inside.

Stampin UP Designer Series Papers make this so cute

showing all the lovely pages with their gorgeous colours

Stampin Up products make great mini albumns

and here's how the accordion pages pull out. Each side has 7 photo/jouranal sections when fully extended.

This was so lovely to make and I know that Sammy adores it.

Its so nice to be able to make something so personal, and to make someone special smile. I love my job and I love what I do, and days like that just make it even better.

Talking of loving what I do:
